CVE-2023-3894
Those using jackson-dataformats-text to parse TOML data may be vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks (DOS).
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.91%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Those using jackson-dataformats-text to parse TOML data may be vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks (DOS). If the parser is running on user supplied input, an attacker may supply content that causes the parser to crash by stackoverflow. This effect may support a denial of service attack.
